Khel is a scrawny half orc, less menacing than his kin, with a scholarly look.
Khel was never going to be a great warrior for the tribe, orphaned early in life, already an outsider tainted by human blood, became enamored by the pursuit of knowledge and left to travel.
A chance encounter with a badly wounded traveller recently robbed, after giving insufficient aid, Khel appealed to the heavens and was offered a pact with a celestial being, immediately taken to save the traveller, it revealed a more reverent path in life, that of the healer as well as the learner.
Khel attended the library of a small monastery on the Lumia border working as a sage and researcher, when the Empire first advanced into the territory a detachment of soldiers occupied the monastery, and believing it to be a place of worship, threatened to burn it down, Khel offered to be sold into slavery to prevent this, and the leader agreed.
Khel is a Neutral Good Warlock bound to the celestial Ki-Rin Candanza, protector of the innocent and guardian of the truth, with skills in the healing arts and investigation, somewhat a pacifist, preferring to talk a way out of situations, but once the swords are unsheathed, Khel may not be much of a warrior, but is a good one to watch your back, heal your wounds, aid your combat, and sow disarray amongst your foes..
